SKILL LEVEL: IV
SKILL LEVEL: I
CONCEPT: This workshop explores the development of a cohesive body of work and the
process of fine-art digital printmaking. We
investigate concepts and strategies in shaping
a body of work that is powerful, well edited
and sequenced. We advance our shooting and
printing skills while making technical choices
that best suit our individual style and photographic content. This is the perfect course for
advanced photographers interested in creating
solid portfolios to represent their core photographic visions. We practice the art of writing
an artist statement and take day trips to photograph sites around the Roaring Fork Valley.
CONCEPT: Don’t let the technical side of digital
photography intimidate you! This workshop
teaches you how to use digital media with confidence—from metering and exposure to equipment, composition, file management and creative effects. Learn about camera functions and
when to use specific ISO, shutter speeds and
apertures to capture the image you want. Then
explore simple post-production techniques to
realize your artistic vision. You also learn to evaluate and critique images.
ACTIVITIES: Daily activities include presentations
on artists’ projects, readings and field trips.
Each student works on an individual project.
CONCEPT: Building on the foundations covered in
Getting Started with the Digital SLR, this course
reviews the basics of photography, increases
students’ understanding of digital shooting techniques, and introduces new technical and conceptual skills. Topics covered include: advanced camera
functions; an introduction to flash and user-friendly
lighting techniques; using complex compositional
elements of photography, and shooting a thematic
series. Daily critique and shooting sessions in the
picturesque Rocky Mountains address technical
and aesthetic considerations. The goal to inspire
and challenge us to make conscious decisions and
produce compelling photographs.
ACTIVITIES: Daily lectures plus hands-on technical
demonstrations address digital camera and lens
functions, shooting, downloading and editing. We
practice every day by shooting during field trips into
the magnificent Colorado landscape, then sum up
our experiences in group discussions and critiques.
ACTIVITIES: Interactive classroom sessions and
daily shooting assignments that build on the
day’s lessons provide a deeper understanding
of the tools and techniques available in digital
photography. Through critiques, we gain the
ability to thoughtfully discuss our work.
